This was on Granville, in Vancouver, BC @ Balfour intersection. Red traffic light. Thankfully no one on bike or in a car crossing, just me who was able to stop walking on time.
Around 20:15, good visibility.
To the man who drove his truck over the speed limit on a well established RED light without even slowing down: Shame on you!!
Decades of walking/riding in cities gave me that 6th sense of knowing when a driver won’t stop (or slow down in this case) at a RED light even with at least 200m to go.
I’m not a big curling guy, but I get the significance of this, and WOW it’s mind-blowing. Some are calling it the best shot in curling history! #TeamCanada at the #ParalympicGames.

Genesis, Supper’s Ready. A flower?
I should add: a tall white cis man.
If that doesn’t ring a bell and scare you, please go read a 20th century history book… especially if you are not a tall white man.
This is eugenics. Genocide. An attack on science, medical ethics, bodily autonomy, and human rights.
Where is the outcry from the biomedical community? Trans people aren't just abstract patients and research participants: We're your friends, family, and co-workers.
Speak up before it's too late
Last night a Waymo vehicle froze on an Austin street after a mass shooting, delaying emergency response.
Note to regulators: Crashing is only one of the ways AVs can harm people.
Je frais que ce soit vrai… (I worry this is true).

Mother, doctors call on Newfoundland and Labrador government to expand coverage of RSV shots to all infants
N.L. is one of 4 provinces that only provide coverage for high-risk infants (the others are British Columbia, Alberta and New Brunswick). This is NOT the recommended strategy by NACI or CPS)
